11am on @NTSlive , tune in for our last ever episode of Literary Friction. As usual, it’s our Year in Review show, where we look back at our favourite reads from 2023 & make some resolutions for the year ahead. BUT, seeing as this show is also the end of an era...

What does it mean, to pursue a life of your own? And what is art & literature's role in figuring out what that might look like? Our show, A Life of One’s Own, with author and filmmaker Xiaolu Guo, gets into all of this and more, ready now wherever you listen 💜

[Literary Friction @LitFriction]

As usual, you can find a list of all the books mentioned in this episode over at our @bookshop_org_UK page: https://t.co/pfGvS21qMn

[Literary Friction @LitFriction]

11am on @NTSlive today, A Life Of One’s Own with Xiaolu Guo. Her latest book Radical explores what it really means for a woman to pursue her own freedom, so we’ll be thinking about how to live autonomously, both as an artist & as a literary character, plus all the usual recs.
